Biographical sketches of authors
Robert Dimpsey
IBM Network Computing Software Division, 11400 Burnet Road, Austin, Texas 78758 (electronic mail: dimpsey@us.ibm.com).
Dr. Dimpsey received his Ph.D. degree in 1992 from the University of Illinois where he studied performance measurement, modeling, and analysis of large shared memory multiprocessors. In 1992 he joined IBM to work on symmetric multiprocessing performance of the AIX operating system. In 1994 he began work on the IBM cross-operating system microkernel project. This was followed by work on kernel-level multiprocessor performance for WARPSMP and scalable, journaled file systems. Currently, he is working on server-focused, core Jvm performance for IBM Jvms on Intel-based platforms.
Rajiv Arora
IBM Networking Computer Software Division, 11400 Burnet Road, Austin, Texas 78758 (electronic mail: rarora@us.ibm.com).
Dr. Arora is a performance engineer whose current interest is the performance of the Java language on the server. He is working on core performance of the IBM Jvms on the Intel platform. He also represents IBM on the SPEC server-side Java benchmark working group. Prior to his Java work, he has worked on Web server performance and the performance of TCP/IP on AIX, the IBM microkernel, and OS/2. Dr. Arora joined IBM in 1992. He holds M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Rochester in the area of network protocols.
Kean Kuiper
IBM Network Computing Software Division, 11400 Burnet Road, Austin, Texas 78758 (electronic mail: kuiper@ us.ibm.com).
Mr. Kuiper is a senior engineer working primarily on Java memory management. He is also actively involved in enhancing code generation for Intel IA32 processors. Mr. Kuiper has extensive experience working in multiprocessor environments, including OS/2, the S/390® I/O subsystem, and earlier midrange S/370™ processors.
